> "Enforced association" is phoney.

It isn't, really. Proximity is a pretty good predictor of friendship or relationships -- partly for the purely mechanical reason that you need to be near to someone to relate at all, but partly because repeated exposure to people makes them less threatening and therefore more likeable. It's why, when I first got to university, I made a point of only sitting next to beautiful classmates.

"Familiarity breeds contempt" is wrong.

It should be: "Familiarity breeds".
